-Messrs. Marsh and Saltzgaber, of
Ohio, now on a visit to friends in the
city, are typical American citizens, sure.
Mr.. Marsh is one of the wealthiest gen.
tlemen in his section. He has heavy
interests in three large stave factories,
is one of the heaviest stock holders in a
bank at his town, is the owner of one of
the best hotels in the interior of the
State, and has large realty interests. He
is one of those quiet unassuming, get-at-
iveness sort of men whom it is pleasant
to meet and altogether unpleasant to
part with. Mr.. Saltzgaber is a genuine
politician of the old Democratic school,
and his politics Is the only possible thing
one can find fault with. And still he
has redeeming political traits-a feature
as rare as 1t is commendable in a poll |
tician. He acknowledges that Gov. For |
aker will be reelected by a good round
majority. Mr.. s. is a very versatile gen.
tleman, full of all that goes to make a
man a man, and with other good traits |
has keen knowledge of the Ohio idea |
of the eternal fitness of things. Both |
Of these gentlemen agree with other
strangers who visit our city, that Man
kato is booming town and a good |
place in which to reside. AS anglers |
the gentlemen can be pronounced sue |
cessful and, as finale, they pronounce |
the fair now in progress the finest local |
exhibit they ever saw.
